| 1270489 | 2012-04-18 00:37:00 | I woner what happened to the rumoured Windows 8 server edition? (Maybe MS thought Windows Home Server 2011 is good enough for home & small businesses?) | Paul Ramon (11806) | ||
| 1270490 | 2012-04-18 00:44:00 | Windows 8 Server edition is a complete different OS, a Server OS has many features and functions the normal desktop version doesn't. The ones listed are only Desktop/Tablet editions. |

| 1270493 | 2012-04-18 00:57:00 | And what one earth is Windows 8 Local Language. Sounds to me like it will be a crippled version. In my view there should only be three versions Windows 8 = Home/ small user edition Windows 8 Pro = Business and enterprise edition Windows RT = Arm/Tablet edition. With the Pro version they could have it where you could buy add-ons as necessary. At the moment with Windows 8 Pro will you be able to upgrade to the Enterprise edition if the business grows or will it be a complete reinstall. |
